Simpsons meets Star Wars in Rogue Not Quite One short for May 4th
The youngest Simpson is starring in a special short to mark Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day is just a day away, and as many of us prepare for the ultimate movie marathon to celebrate, a special short has just been announced that has only made tomorrow's schedules even more exciting.
The Simpsons and Star Wars are colliding for a brand new Disney Plus short: Maggie Simpson in ‘Rogue Not Quite One'. The new short will launch on Thursday 4th May, AKA Star Wars Day, which is a fitting nod to the franchise's well-known phrase “may the Force be with you”.
Now, we also have some new key art for the short, which gives fans a glimpse of what they can expect.
According to the synopsis, we'll see how Homer will lose track of Maggie, the youngest of the Simpsons clan, but unbeknownst to him, Maggie has hitched a ride in Grogu’s hovering pram.
What unfolds is the king of galaxy-bound space adventure that babies (and many of us) can only dream of, but soon Maggie is faced with the Imperial TIE fighters. She'll bring the battle back home to Springfield in what is set to be a celebration of all things Star Wars.

And it's not the first time that The Simpsons has created something special for a short, as Disney Plus is also home to others including the Emmy-nominated When Billy Met Lisa.
It's also not the first crossover The Simpsons and Star Wars have had, with the beloved long-running animated show releasing a special short for Star Wars Day in 2021, entitled Maggie Simpson in ‘The Force Awakens from Its Nap', which went on to also be nominated for an Emmy that year.
